That explains a lot. I thought I had heard his dad was a big General Contractor.

There's a new one at 8. I'll be watching all night.

I still have a hard on for Gold Rush and Deadliest Catch.

I root for Parker, frick the Hoffmans. I wish Dave and Freddie would roll out and start their own operation.

I love how Todd is so focused on "beating the kid" and the kid is just grinding.

Tony shite has gotten pretty stale too, Im tired of seeing that dredge frick up every 5 seconds

Parker has been mining all his life. Learned from grandpa, which puts him light years ahead of fatass bible thumpers. Fatass has two guys that know their shite; he and his old man sure as hell don't. Believe show is Todds idea, that's why he's still on. All that equipment and fuel eats into the bottom line. Discovery probably picking up the tab on a lot of overhead.

I'm with you. I only like Parker's operation.

Tony seems like a sketchy, arrogant frick. I hope his dredge explodes, with no injuries, of course.

Freddie and his brother have a huge business in Colorado building mining equipment. He probably just does the show for fun

Yep,

I will be upset when Parker's grandpa dies. He seems like a really nice guy.

Tony beats apparently owns a lot of ground and has legit operation that makes very good money. He is doing the show for fun. Todd Hoffman is worthless.

Is Gold Rush the show that two kind of whacky guys go crazy with metal detectors?

That was a hobby mine that catered to tourists, a pay $20 and pan your own gold place. His Grandfther was already well-to-do and so was his father. He has run equipment his whole life.

None of these crews have turned a profit since the series began, without including TV and sponsorship money.The series is shoddily edited and cobbled together to perpetuate the story line. Pat attention to Parker's hair the next time...and wearing heavy coats in the height of the summer season when Parker's family visits.

I am pretty sure TH had the balcony and suite next to ours on Bourbon while we were partying for a bachelor party. It was right after the South American debacle just before he went to the Yukon.

I am pretty sure Tony Beets clears a serious profit at Paradise Hill. The dredges are just a hobby.
